Breast Augmentation Treatment in Iran
Breast Augmentation

Why is done?
The following are reasons for breast augmentation:
- Enhance your breast appearance for those who concerned that one is smaller than the other one.
- Adjust for size reduction of the breast after pregnancy.
- Breast reconstruction after breast surgery for cancer or other conditions.
- Improve self-confidence and self-image.
Pre-assessment
Consult with a plastic surgeon about your preference for size, feel and overall appearance of your breast. He may prescribe specific types of implant, e.g. smooth/textured, round or tear-drop shaped saline or silicone, as well as options for surgical techniques. There are some important considerations to bear in mind;
- Breast implant won’t prevent the patient breast from sagging.
- The procedure won’t guarantee to last a lifetime.
- Mammogram might be complicated and may need routine MRI scans.
- The breast implant may hamper breastfeeding.
- Insurance might not cover the implant.
- Additional surgeries after breast implant removal.
